About CHILDRENS FOOD MINISTRY INC

Children's Food Ministry (incorporated in Texas) is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) organization that operates a school-based feeding and early-education program focused on vulnerable children in rural Africa (program materials and photos show operations in Kenya). The organization emphasizes daily breakfast provision, volunteer-led meal preparation, and complementary education supports to improve children’s readiness to learn.

Since its founding in 2019 the charity has maintained an active public website, solicits online donations, publishes program photos and leadership information, and files nonprofit returns (Form 990-series).
